A pаtient with аcute respirаtоry distress syndrоme (ARDS) has develоped a pneumothorax from elevating peak and plateau pressures. The patient is currently being ventilated in the volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) mode with a set rate of 12 breaths/min. However, the patient is triggering the ventilator at a rate of 25 breaths/min. The arterial blood gas reveals ventilator-induced hyperventilation with corrected hypoxemia.
